Patient's question:
Will hypertrophy of the adenoid in children cause nosebleeds?Doctor's answer:
Adenoid hypertrophy is usually caused by a child's cold or cough not healing properly. Long-term nasal congestion can lead to facial deformation, affect intelligence, and cause middle ear infections. It is recommended to have surgery in a timely manner. Plasma treatment can also be adopted for adenoid hypertrophy. If a child gets this condition after the age of four or five and the situation is not too severe, it can be persisted with. After the age of ten or so, it may shrink on its own.
